These consderations of formation and astening, however, are merely Shop expediente in adapting the Sankey fastening, and any convenient specific means may be employed to cause the parts to coact for fastening in the stiffener.

The invention is illustrated in connection with blading formed separately and secured to the base, but obviouslyit is applicable to blading formed in one with 'the base. In this case the stifener may also be formed lscribed, lfor obvious modications will occur to a person skilled in the art.

vWhat. is claimed and it is desired to secure by Letters Patent, im i 1. A hase, a row of blades secured to the base, means connecting the blades and a member secured to the base and to said means for stiffening the row of blades.

2. A base', :i row of blades'secured to the base, means connecting the blades and a stiiening member secured to the base and Yto said means and located between two blades.

3. A base, a row of blades secured to the base, means connecting the blades and a stiening member: secured to the base and to said means and extending longitudinally of the blades.

4. A base. a row of blades extending from the base, means connecting the blades and a stiening member extending from the base and secured to said means, said meniber being located between two blades.

5. A base, a row of blades secured to the base. a member secured to the base and stiffening the row of blades, and

means for connecting the blades and member.

6. A base, n row of blades secured to the base, a stiftening member lsecured to the base and located between tivo blades. and means for connecting the blades land member.

7. A base, a row of blades secured to the base, a stieningr member securedy to the base and extending longitudinally of the blades. and means for connecting the blades and member.

8. A base, a row of blades extending from the base, :1 stiiening member extending from the base and located be tween two blades, and means for connecting theblades and member.

In testimony whereof, I aiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
